- Tour this Italian property and be amazed by the most stunning frescoed rooms EVER!

Director by Audrey Wells and based on a book written by Frances Mayes.
This is a very special place. Your own little bit of Italian heaven.
I would like to give a big thank you to Giovanni Alunno at Alunno Immobiliare and the owners for giving me the opportunity to shoot the stunning property.
One mistake I made: It's not Monte Amiato but Monte Amiata.

When talking adjectives to describe these frescoes; I believe we’ll have to invent some new words. Truly quintessential Italian in design, but that chapel did me in (as they always do.) ❤ The proximity to the center of Cortina just adds bonus stars. I loved the view of the alley way when you looked out of the window from the master bedroom. I imagined all the conversations that were held between neighbors, lovers and passersby. You’ve done it again, Nick. Truly exquisite apartment. Thank you. ❤️
If only those walls could talk. 😊 Thank you. ❤️ Best wishes, Nick.
@@italianproperty indeed! 😉
The apartment is a work of art! The price is very reasonable for the history within. The kitchen is my favorite part.
So impressed by the chapel, just beautiful and so holy.
I’m amazed at the frescos, gilt and everything in between! They are showing no wear n tear. So unusual to live in a work of art.
Thank you Fot this grand tour 🙏🏻
A preserved suspended moment of historical magic. Grace and elegance at its best ! Thank you Nick ! I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Thank you. ❤️ You too. 🙏 Nick.
This is a work of art. It is a steal at this price!
Wonderful! The chapel made me cry! Thank you! xx
Absolutely stunning Nick! Cortona is such a lovely town and this apartment is just "wow"! The frescoes are amazing, as are the overall artwork, tile, everything...
Thanks Rob. 🙏 Nick.
Simply Gorgeous. The attention to detail is phenomenal.
Nick, wowzer, if I had the money I would immediately buy this apartment…charming elegance…in a perfect location..Grazie ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Sometimes, all you can say is "OH MY!" Well, this is one of those times...♥
Wow,I'd be living like royalty in this apartment love love love😍😍😍
Me too. ❤️ Nick.
Price @ end is the way to do it. Well done as usual Nick.
That was stunning! And the chapel is so special! With the Sacred Heart above the Blessed Virgin picture, oh be still my heart! That was the best part of the tour. What an amazing property! You made this ranch wife’s day, thank you so much! Loved it! ❤❤
Thank you so much Kelly. ❤️ 🙏 Nick.
This apartment is so very very beautiful 💗steeped in history. Just wow!!! 😘
Thank you Elodie. ❤️ Nick.
Each piece of furniture is more breathtaking than the other; they do not make them like this anymore. Give me "old" any time. Love!!!
❤️ Nick

Beautiful. A true work of art. History around every corner. If the walls could talk, oh my the stories they would tell. Thank you again Nick for a wonderful tour of an exceptional property in Cortona.
❤️ 🙏 Nick.
Wow! What a great place. Amazing price.
Beautiful! Thank you again Nick.
That’s a really interesting floor plan. Frescos are great! Rarely have I seen a modern kitchen inserted into an old building so beautifully, well done on that. Those hideous air-cons: I’ve seen many covered with a constructed box matching the decor. They have to have a slatted front, of sorts, and you have to know where the remote needs to hit and leave that open. I’ve seen it done quite well, and not so well.
Beautiful thank you Nick. I totally agree about the white plastic boxes on the walls amongst exquisite frescoes and art. Years ago I found a 2nd hand dehumidifier the outer of which was made to look like wood, a pleasing warm brown. (English )I've lamented long and loudly about black wood burner stoves and the gorgeous blue and green enamel ones in magazines I think were British made. Correct me
if I err. I'm referring to at least 35 years ago. Colours available now, but not in that style, and all rather large.
Lovely apartment. The frescoes and the floors were beautiful, especially liked how you could see the wear in the tiles of the small hallway. How many people have walked those floors? Great location and plenty of charm. Another super property!
Thank you Andrea. Have a great weekend. ❤️ N.
Definitely tell us the price at the end, otherwise you can't play the property guesstimation game.
😃 Thanks Simon. 🙏 Nick.
Once again an amazing tour. The frescoes are incredible. Thank you again and stay safe Nick. ❤
WHAT!!The price is unreal! Nick it is absolutely stunning. I was sure it was going to be at least a million Euros!
Appreciate your comment. Thanks Lavado. Best wishes, Nick.
Your are the best. We look forward to Saturday to watch you looking for our forever home and we can get out of Toronto. I feel you just found it. ❤️❤️
Lovely message Heather. Thank you. 😊 Nick.
Jaw dropping Nick. What a privilege to see such an original and immaculately maintained apartment. Full of exquisite elegance; starting with the front door having such a history of its own. Then the frescos, beyond words. I love the flooring, the curtains and light fittings...just wow. The surprise I thought was going to be a library so blown away by a private chapel. Regarding the split AC units, I would be looking at some complimentary design wallpaper and cover them in that fashion. I agree to give the price at the end, I think the tour has equal billing. I don't know how you find these absolutely gorgeous treasures but thank you for sharing. Cheers from Oz
Thank you Carol. Enjoyed reading your comment. ❤️ Nick.
A really beautiful apartment, beyond my imagination. Very regal in its decor. Fun to see as always. Thanks Nick.
Oh my, this is a spectacular apartment!! And I have to say that the price is cheap even if you have to do some work here or there. As I've mentioned many times, in So California, this apt would go for 1--2 million dollars. Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful.
❤️ Thank you. 🙏 Nick.
Good morning Nick, this property is stunning ❤️♥️
Good evening. ❤️ N.
So Beautiful , and great location.
Love the interior shutters on the windows. Love the frescos, love the floors, Don't love the A/C units (LOL) Love the painting on the doors, love the furnishings, Very nice that you tell us east and west as this is so very important to living.
Thank you Susan. Best wishes, Nick.
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great week.
You too Patricia. ❤️ N.

I love your vidieos. I would love for you to go to other countries and show us more properties. You are great on camera and I love your off the cuff comments.
Thank you so much. It’s a great idea. ❤️ Nick.
I literally had to pick myself off the floor after viewing this apartment. Such a beautiful historic property. Lucky to whoever purchases this amazing place.
😊 ❤️ Nick.
Absolutely stunning.
My first time viewing - I LOVED it!!!
Thank you Judith. ❤️ Best wishes, Nick.
As pretty as can be. Would be like living in a museum.
Stunning! Thank you.
Nick, with all your experience there. I think it’s great how you still have that excitement ❤ for the history, the quirky and the beauty you share with us. Thanks again.
Thank you. N 🙏 ❤️
Worth it. Best property in a long time. What were those hooks underneath the windows in the alley? Also, do you ever go to the beach area of Tuscany?
Hi Joseph, It was a washing line. 😊 I will be going to the beach later this year. Best wishes, Nick.
Wow, it’s a very special apartment.
Tell Max I link you to something new and profitable.......👆
The chapel was a pleasant surprise! And you had me when you mentioned Under the Tuscan Sun movie. lol Tfs, Nick!
Asking price seems very reasonable for such a spacious apartment without too many steps.
Wow Very nice.
Great job Nick
Thank you
Thanks Joe. 🙏 Nick.
A kitchen with a view all the way to San .. 50 km away. But you didn't show it. Beautiful frescoes as everybody says. Thank you again.
I know, sorry. The sun was shining directly into the window, so it would have been impossible to see the view. 🙏 ❤️ Nick.

I’m the 3rd one to like this in the 54 seconds since its release. I just wanted you to know how popular you’ve become.
Thanks Steven. ❤️ Have a great weekend. 🙏 Nick.
So beautiful and I want it. The knockers are amazing!
what a grand place this is. such a sophisticated air about it with the beauty of it's aesthethics yet offers a simplicity and easy feel to it at the same time. italians seem to have a way with blending luxury and function don't they? you keep managing to find such amazing places to take us! i enjoy these videos so much!
You’re very kind Andre’. Thank you. ❤️ N.
Stunning. Italian palazzos are quite unique. At the middle of the video my comment was “Nick is such a pro, loving this”.
Definitively one more for prices in the end. I like to absorve the property without pre conceived judgements :)
Thank you. 🙏 Nick.
Crikey what a beauty!!!! I would lay face up on the bed in the master bedroom for hours trying to interpret every stroke of the paintbrush that is above me. The kitchen is lovely and I can imagine sipping a cup of tea at the table while watching the sun set. You had me with the frescoes room after room but when you opened the door to the Chapel...😍 you know that gets me right in the heartstrings...❤. Worth every penny!!! Thank you Nick xoxo.
Great message Patricia. Thank you. ❤️ Nick.
Beautiful work of art history in this apartment! Thank you Nick!

Love your tours Nick. I discovered your channel about a week ago, and I've been binge watching all week. I do love your appreciation and enthusiasm for the art, the architecture and those little artisan details you often pick up on; floor tiles, nooks, locks and hinges etc, you obviously love what you do, I I've been loving watching you videos. On a technical point your video technique is great, because you pan slowly, so many people pan too fast so you can't see the detail, and it makes me a little queasy, so we'll done on your technique. Hopefully I'll be moving out to Italy this year, possibly Tuscany, so maybe I'll get to share a bottle of wine with you one day and talk all things Italian. All the best.
Thank you Ian. I look forward to that. Have a great weekend. Best wishes, Nick 🙏
A steal for a history freak, but not so much for anyone wanting modern luxury conveniences. I am a history freak and would pay that price (if I could). Absolutely stunning apartment - it feels like a chateau not an urban apartment. Thanks Nick!
Thank you. Nick. 🙏
Awesome - I feel as though I've been there without really being there - I wonder why people leave Italy 🤷 such a beautiful place! 👍👏💕
Exceptional Property Nick.... Thank YOU!
Breathtaking 😳
Some wonderful surfaces in this place - both floor and ceiling. Interesting twists and turns - internal vistas. Yes, that ceiling in the master bedroom dense with ancient gossip, craft, and perspective . I imagined, strangely, lying in that masterbed *unwell, and how that ceiling would lull as well engage me into sleep, or some kind of dignified release. Kitchen also moved in a dynamic and interesting way.. Oh yes, quite the regal pad.
❤️ N.
Nick hello Seems so long since I’ve been here. I had a very bad head cold that I just couldn’t shake off plus the holidays but Iam feeling great and so happy to be able to take another wonderful house tour with you. This place is just beautiful. It’s like a homey museum . It has the history and elegance and beauty of a museum but feels like a home too. I loved all the locks and the knocker on the front door and so happy to see they kept all of that intact . Loved the tile floors stunning.I totally agree with you about the air conditioners . But everything was Tasteful . Never would of guessed a chapel but what a very lovely surprise. I was so taken by how serene it was. Hard to believe it was in the middle of cortona. The view of the alley from that window was just so beautiful and speacial. Thankyou once again for showing us another beautiful property. Good to see your smile have a beautiful blessed day 😁💕🙏🕊
Hi Lois, So happy you’re feeling better. Thank you for your comment. I enjoyed reading it. 🙏 Nick.
@@italianproperty Thankyou so much😁❤️
Love the bonus chapel! Very cool and a nice suprise.
Bravo/brava to all the 'caretakers' of this Italian piece of art! 700,000 Euros is cheap at twice the price!!!
I know I'd never be the steward this place needed. I'd prefer something in need of love and a new lease. But stunning for sure.
Like you comment Michelle. ❤️ Nick.
LOVE this one, Nick!
Love the look of that kitchen
Oh, oh, oh…just so beautiful! The wings of history really is present in this apartement. Lucky those who can and want to live there. They certainly must have a genuine appreciation of just the kind of living they will have to live here, and maybe that is not for everyone…? You just don’t change things here into somekind of modernity, that must be kept in mind, I think.
I agree Martin. 🙏 Nick.
Simple marvelous. Thanks Nick for discorver and share for us this wonderful home.
Thanks William. Best wishes, Nick.

Wow, those frescos! The colors go so well together,very posh. The price seems high but again those frescos & location must have a big impact on it. Great property Nick, cheers Kirk
Thanks Kirk. Hope you’re having a great week. N.
When you learn a property has been sold, would you update the description to reflect it has been sold, please? It would be extremely helpful if you could do that. I fell in love with this property, and I wondered if it was still available. The real estate site is down at the moment, so I couldn't check. It probably isn't because I just noticed this video is a year old. Congratulations to the buyer.
Simply Stunning, no other words need to be said.
Ciao Nick, the apartment is just beautiful, sometimes there are no words to describe something, the old saying " seeing is believing " and let your eyes to the describing." Bellissimo " The chapel is amazing and just stunning. I love that Cortona is right there, being in the thick of things, the price is not bad, you can pay a lot more for a lot less in NYC, I just love this place. Thanks Nick another beautiful find. Love from N.Y.
Italian: the absolute devotion to the obsession called beauty. Yes, those AC units need a proper decoration.
Love it. 🙏 N.

Wow! Exceptional apartment! Your tours are always fantastic, Nick. Thank you for all that you do to share so many incredible listings with us. I really enjoy your channel. Cheers to you from Ontario, Canada 🙂
Thanks so much Liz. ❤️ Nick.
Another great property, Nick!! When I think about the building's age and how it has been redone so well, it is quite lovely. The Master ceiling - once I saw the two different coats of arms and two different crowns I knew I could lay there studying that ceiling and trying to research who it was painted for back in the day. And then wondering if the chapel was added during WWII as a place to worship for the 4 neighboring families? So much history and so much to learn about if you lived there. The layout is odd but only because the plumbing could only be added on one end of the apartment in the day, so rather than tear up all the floors and ruin the interior walls and possibly the ceilings (plaster cracks with vibration), they added the kitchen and baths to the far exterior end. It makes sense if you think about not having any plumbing using chamber pots when this was built! (I noted a few comments about it being an odd plan, but those are my thoughts.)
I agree - reveal prices at the end - if you do it in the beginning, then people skip the video if it is over budget but as a realtor I believe it is important to look at things above and below budget so that you can develop a sense of value in the location you are searching. On that note - this apartment was a "$750K" guess in my mind based on the location, condition and history - so I see good value here. I wish it had some outside space though.
Side note, if the buyer wanted to remove the chapel, it can be done, but for Catholics buying the home, it should be done with the local diocesan bishop approval. (If the Church has no record of the consecration, then it is not considered necessary.)
Just loved reading your message. Thank you so much. Big ❤️ Nick. 🙏

Hi Nick, I enjoy watching the videos, I hope to move to Italy in the near future, depending on my wife to sell an apartment in Israel

Really enjoy your videos, your enthusiasm and love for what you do comes through. My question is does the furniture come with the apartment? Thank you.
I don’t think so. Thanks for your comment. Best wishes, Nick.
To be honest: not my cup of tea, but nevertheless a very stunning and really interesting appartment, indeed. The foor tiles with the 3D effect were mesmerizing, what a fabulous artwork.
Thanks again for taking us along, Nick!

Interesting space. A bit of an odd layout, but I’m sure that’s due to the space being divided into separate apartments. Great tour as always 👍
Thanks Keith. 🙏 Nick.
OMG!!! Are any furnishings included? Those ceilings-I’m speechless!
Not sure, I can ask. 🙏 ❤️ Nick.
Thanks Nick. Now my wife is gonna make me watch “Under the Tuscan Sun” to try to spot the apartment scene😂 Just kidding, beautiful property though🍷
😂 N.
you have a box/cover over the window drapes put a Box cover over the A C unit
Wonderful place ...it seems so untouched by modern life mostly .
I feel the need to dress up and get my hair done ...can't walk around in this place in joggers
😂 Love your comment Petra. ❤️ Nick.
I’m not up with Italian property prices but for a $1 million Australian I think this apartment is a steal, although being the guardian of the frescoes would worry me a bit.
Tell Max I link you to something new and profitable.......👆
It's a lovely place, and a great size for the money and location. I think the chapel means a certain type of buyer for sure. Thanks for another interesting video! (btw - it's great when you also list the taxes and other expenses for the properties)
Thanks Lee. 🙏 Nick.
Bella casa. Love it! You're so funny. I thought anything less than 400K was a steal but more like 500. So 700 is still acceptable. You almost had me drop off my chair and running to phone you when you said 'Price, 120.... square metres...' (The words 'is a' were barely audible). 😋 Yes, I would have thrown my whole career away in a heartbeat for £120K!
😊 N.
Worth every penny. Its actually cheap for what it offers. Absolutely stunning house
Fantastic, how much love went in to the apartment. 😍

Not to my taste as a home, but the frescoes are undeniably beautiful. The location is perfect too. Having never lived in an apartment, I can't imagine not having outside space or garden. Thank you for another gem, Nick. I look forward to spending Sunday morning with you!
Thanks Sue. ❤️ Nick.
That's a surprisingly low price, all things considered.
Noble house.

Stunning! Amazing tour and tour guide as always.
Is there any practical impact of there being a consecrated chapel in the apartment? Its religious use would have no meaning for me, although its history, architecture, and uniqueness are priceless. I suspect that one would not officially be allowed to use it, however respectfully, for other purposes.
I agree that the A/C units are quite jarring against backdrops such as this home, and I had never considered painting them to help camouflage their appearance... excellent suggestion.
The only thing that surprised me a titch, was the somewhat small amount of public reception space overall (including no designated dining room). I would by no means call it insufficient, but it seemed a little limited. Perhaps I have simply been spoiled by so many of your other tours, and of course I must remember that this is an apartment vs. a full house.
Pity about no bathtub which I do realize is a bit of an obsession of mine, and that the bathrooms are so far from the bedrooms, however, I suppose Grande Dames of this calibre have earned the right to make their temporary custodians fit in with them, rather than the reverse.
I do think I would have to have the 1st bedroom as my own, as the birds and butterflies fresco almost literally took my breath away.
Thank you for taking us along.
Really enjoyed reading your message. Thank you. ❤️ Nick.
